Landmark Preservation Design Review Process

Landmark Preservation staff, the Landmark Preservation Commission (LPC) and the Lower Downtown Design Review Commission (LDDRC), review the design of all exterior projects that require building or zoning permits at individual landmark properties and properties in historic districts. Landmark Preservation also reviews all curb cuts and encroachment permit applications for these properties. Design review ensures that proposed alterations preserve the key character-defining features and historic qualities of each property.
